Abstract

Les normes du travail sont problématiques en Chine, mais constater l’impuissance du droit du travail à réguler le marché du travail est insatisfaisant. Pour dépasser les apparences, nous sommes amenée alors à replacer la législation du travail d’une part dans la dynamique de la transition chinoise et de l’autre dans une perspective analytique propre à l’institutionnalisme de J. R. Commons. La Chine rencontre en effet les « problèmes du travail » engendrés par un capitalisme non-raisonnable qui fait porter aux travailleurs migrants ruraux un coût exorbitant et déstabilisateur. Le droit du travail se présente alors comme une solution qui assure la viabilité de ce nouveau salariat chinois à travers des politiques socialement inclusives qui visent sa sécurité économique, une voie « raisonnable » de dépassement des conflits. Mais au-delà, dans un contexte marqué par l’héritage socialiste et l’absence de démocratie, il faut aussi s’interroger sur le rapport à la loi et à l’État. La Law & Economics forgée par J. R. Commons nous offre l’opportunité de comprendre en quoi consistent l’enjeu autour du conflit sur les règles et l’édification d’un nouveau compromis. Le droit du travail, clairement instrumentalisé par le Parti Communiste et au service de sa politique de stabilité sociale, apparaît alors au cœur du processus d’institutionnalisation du salariat des migrants ruraux.
